The Knowledge of the Holy

by A. W. Tozer

Overview

A modern classic of Christian testimony and devotion, The Knowledge of the Holy shows us how we can rejuvenate our prayer life, meditate more reverently, understand God more deeply, and experience God’s presence in our daily lives.

Editorial Reviews

This relatively short work by the late theologian is a good introduction to evangelical Christian theology. Tozer, who was able to see trends in the evangelical community that are apparent today, describes what the attributes of God are. This is theology in the literal sense. In this soberly written, though by no means dry or dense, work, Tozer advocates a return to a reverent view of God that would inform our lives and our actions. Scott Brick’s narration is sober, measured, and deliberate, but never monotonous or devoid of feeling. His performance is an appropriate combination of sermon and lecture.
